...complained, but for the next five months found their concerns brushed aside. LaShonda was forced to sit next to the boy for months despite his lewd comments and his attempts to grab her genitals. The principal responded with a lackluster promise to "threaten him a little harder." LaShonda became withdrawn and depressed, and one night her father found a suicide note. Even now, six years later and in 11th grade, his daughter, he says, is still "not the same LaShonda...
...immediate air strike isn't an option for NATO, because that would endanger the 700 monitors introduced to the region as part of the cease-fire deal brokered by Richard Holbrooke last November. But even if the monitors were withdrawn, it's not clear that the U.S. and its allies would attack: Many Western observers believe that only ground troops could keep the peace in Kosovo -- and that's a non-starter, since the Western alliance has no appetite for wading into an intractable civil war between the Serb authorities and the independence-minded Kosovar Albanians. And with no firm...
...opening salvo of a battle that would rage for months--and which smolders to this day.

If you've already converted and find that your stocks or funds have fallen in value, reconvert to cut your tax bill...
...Education IRA, which lets you set aside $500 per child each year, must be funded by year-end. Like the Roth, it allows your money to grow and be withdrawn for college free of tax, but it offers no deduction. You can take as much as a $1,500-per-student credit on 1998 taxes by using the Hope Scholarship and prepaying now for the college spring semester. You can take up to a $1,000 credit per family by using the lifetime learning credit. Each program has income limits and other restrictions...
